Calgary - Travel Research to Date
A Message from Tom - ORC Guest Blogger
Excitement is building for ORC conference with less than 6 days to go. Many of us are doing our travel research before our trip to find out what is close to conference hotel. Some will arrive early on Monday or leave later on Thursday or Friday. Here is what I have found out to date along with some help from Michelle Sears, TIANS :
1) airport shuttle to Hyatt is $15.00 one way
2) Calgary Tower is one block away from Hyatt - $12.95 to take the elevator. You can see the Rockies from the view on top - Yes !!!
3) Hyatt Regency has a mall connected to it with pubs, restaurants, stores etc.
4) Can I still ski at Banff - yes !!! - Sunshine Village (180 cm base) is open,
4) Military Museums - Not far away from the Hyatt is this attraction made of 7 museums on 13 acres. Open 9:30 am - 4:00 pm. daily - Admission - $6.00
